Summary

Pollution of the aquatic environment is a real threat across the globe. It is becoming a topic of intense study for researchers. It has been updated and almost completely revised. The Mediterranean Sea has been recognized as a target hotspot of the world as the pollutant concentration in this region is greater than the levels in other oceans.
 
The book summarizes research on marine pollutants in the Mediterranean Sea. It presents 5 concise reviews focusing on microplastics, rare earth elements and biotoxins – which are now commonly found in the region. The Editors also emphasize on pollution problems in the Mediterranean region, with 2 chapters presenting studies on Lebanon and Morocco, respectively. The book adds to the collective information on Mediterranean marine pollution. Additionally, references are included at the end of each chapter for the benefit of advanced readers.
 
The contributions also include discussions on important techniques used to monitor and control marine pollution, such as the bio-monitoring of effluents, and ecological impact assessment of microplastic pollution on fish and the environment.

Students and researchers in environmental science programs; policymakers in Mediterranean environmental agencies.

    What does it take to prevail in Antarctica? 
     
     
     
    Four geologists and two mountain guides face the brutal beauty of West Antarctica eight hundred miles from the United States main base. Their search reaches far into the treacherous mountains of Marie Byrd Land. Over six weeks of living in tents and traveling by snowmobile, the team endures endless cold and furious blizzards. They cross ice fields and hidden crevasses, which one of the team learns about the hard way. 
     
     
     
    What keeps them going in spite of these dangers? Will the mountains give up their secrets? Can these scientists find evidence of the formation of the ranges many millions of years ago as the giant continent of Gondwana began to break apart? Was a new continent, now known as Zealandia, created by this event? 
     
     
     
    Mighty Bad Land, told firsthand by Bruce Luyendyk, a former professor of geology, reveals his inner battles and challenges: he's almost fifty, asthmatic, and fights chronic pain. Through deft storytelling, listeners are invited into a land of emptiness, beauty, constant daylight, and unseen menace.

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    From long before the `medical profession` was remotely as reliable as it is today, people relied mostly on herbal cures. Most people had a rudimentary knowledge of the capabilities of of the flora that grew in their neighbourhood, and the older women tended to know more than most. These women were often referred to as wise women. By the way, they were the ones later persecuted by the established churches as witches, 
    The people who had this this superior knowledge of local herbs were heavily relied upon by the local community, and the best of the best would also `import` herbs from further afield. This knowledge has not been lost, but fewer modern men and women are in possession of it than their parents` and grandparents` generations. It could have been said to be dying out 
    However, there has been a revival of interest in the ancient cures, often referred to as traditional, alternative or natural remedies. There are many reasons for this. Some might be a breakdown of trust in the establishment and advertisers; the soaring cost of modern drugs; the increasing difficulty of getting to see a doctor; the side effects of strong chemical drugs; and even an upswell in the desire to return to a less chemical way of life. 
    Whatever the reason for your interest in this topic, I hope you enjoy this booklet. 
    The information in this ebook on various aspects of traditional home remedies and related ideas is organised into 19 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
